In this solo episode, Lauren breaks down one of the most common and frustrating T1D scenarios: correcting and still running high. She starts by validating why it's so hard, and how it’s not necessarily because of the high itself, but because of the "boomerang decision" it creates.
Lauren walks through the exact decision framework she uses with clients at Risely to think through this scenario clearly. From checking your insulin timing and ruling out a site issue to widening the lens on what else might be driving resistance. The goal isn't just to fix the high. It's to build the muscle of thinking through situations like this so they get easier every time. She also shares how the Risely app's Decision Domains feature brings this kind of framework to life, with voice notes and written breakdowns for the real scenarios T1Ds face every day.
WHAT WE COVER:
- Why correcting and staying high feels so frustrating and why the gap between what you expected and what happened is the hardest part
- The urge to rage bolus, why it backfires, and what to do instead
- Checking the timing of your correction and understanding your insulin action window
- Why ruling out a pump site issue comes first, and how to know when changing your site is worth it even if you're not sure it's the problem
- Widening the lens to consider fat, protein, stress, illness, and sedentary days as hidden drivers of insulin resistance
- How to use movement to activate insulin on board before reaching for more
- When to look at your correction factors versus treating this as a one-time scenario
- How decision frameworks reduce the energy drain of T1D over time, and how the newly launched Risely app brings this to life through Decision Domains
